"I am a solo female traveller. Zanzibar House is an excellent property in so many ways. The staff are friendly and helpful. The grounds are a delight to be in, with lots of comfortable places to sit and read or contemplate the beauty of the area.
I did not use the pool and I am sure it would be lovely.
At night time I had an evening meal which was tasty and they accommodated my dietary requirements very well. I am gluten intolerant. I recommend this hotel if you like quiet and beauty filled...

"I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this hotel owner. We paid $2,700 for what was clearly sold to us as a 3-day tour, but after payment it was suddenly reduced to only 2 days with no proper explanation or refund.
To make matters worse, we were left at the airport without any transportation arranged, despite this being part of what was discussed. Since then, the owner has ignored our messages and refused to respond or take responsibility.
This felt unprofessional,...

"O pessoal do hotel é maravilhoso, me ajudou em vários temos que eram fora do escopo da minha estadia no hotel. Conseguiram um transporte para o hotel, me conseguiram outro hotel e as meninas que trabalham lá são ótimas. Os quartos são lindos, com decoração africana e muito limpos. O restaurante tem muitas opções de comida, com preços excelentes. A piscina estava muito limpa e boa. Uns 7 minutos andando da praia. "

"Just to be clear: there is no pool. And the hotel is 5 minutes walking distance from the beach. But the service is 5 stars. And they clean every day, and change the bed and towels every 2 days"

"The last review of this property was over two years ago, and I’m not sure where the photos were taken from. Dark, damp and mouldy facilities. Bucket and mop in shower and no toilet paper.
I had to leave within the first hour of arriving. There was no mention that this place is a public place for turtles, and there were strangers sitting at your front door. Just did not feel well with the odour in the room.
I just hope the turtles have better accommodations."

"Everything was outstanding from the food to the hospitality! Beach was beautiful!! Plenty of fun for the adventurous people and plenty of activities for the people who wish to stay at the hotel. Highly recommend! "
"We had a gorgeous sea view room for our 2 night stay. Bed is comfortable, balcony seats very comfortable: good shower etc. place is spotless with attentive housekeeping. Great stay if you’re looking to dive around Mnemba as the diving centre with lovely staff is in the resort. Menu is a bit limited for vegetarians and they ran out of quite a few ingredients (avocado, limes) so it wasn’t the best food we had and the area around the hotel is pretty quiet. "
"The hotel was everything we had hoped for. Stunning beach views and helpful staff.we reserved a sea view room and it was well worth it! Walkable to souvenir stores and if you would like a night out of the hotel it is safe. "
"The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They made my 7 night stay very pleasant and comfortable. This is truly a boutique hotel that pays attention to every detail and every guest. At first the entrance is misleading but as soon as you step inside it is a different story! You get a welcome coconut drink that is super delicious. The pool area and the restaurant is very pretty and is kept very clean. The food is super delicious and they have the best drinks and also mocktails. I had a very good deep tissue massage at the spa also. My room was very spacious with a great view. The bed was super comfortable and they cleaned every day. They even surprised me with a birthday song and a personal cake - getting my birthday from my ID! Now that had never happened in any hotel before! Very special place and I will definitely stay there again. "
"Incredible stay! The room was lovely and such a quiet and peaceful location, right on the beach. The best part was the staff, they went above and beyond at every opportunity to make our stay as special as possible. We will be back!"
